Configuring a VLAN MAC address with heartbeat interval
When installing routing switches in the place of existing routers in a network configuration, you can achieve Layer 3 VLAN migration by using the
ip-recv-mac-address
command at the VLAN configuration level to:
-
Configure the MAC address of the previously installed router on each VLAN interface of a routing switch.
-
Optionally configure the time interval to use for sending heartbeat packets with the configured MAC address.
Syntax
ip-recv-mac-address <mac-address> interval <seconds>
no ip-recv-mac-address <mac-address> interval <seconds>
Configures a VLAN interface with the specified MAC address. Enter the
no
version of the command to remove the configured MAC address and return to the original MAC address of the switch.
